Matrix II

About This Movie

Matrix II really gets into the nuts and bolts of video as an art form. It’s all about geometric shapes and how they interact with the grid of CRT screens, which is a fascinating blend of technology and artistic expression. You see the manipulated electron beams at work, and it’s like a dance of light on the screen. The pacing might throw some off, as it’s not about a narrative but rather an exploration of visual and auditory experiences. There’s something oddly meditative about it, and it stands apart from typical documentaries of its time with its experimental approach to form and substance.

Matrix II is quite a rare find in the collector’s world, especially since it falls under the documentary category and has an experimental edge that isn't typically mass-produced. The film was originally released on VHS, and those copies have become increasingly scarce over the years. Collectors often appreciate it for its unique take on visual media and its historical significance in the evolution of video art, making it an interesting piece for anyone delving into the genre.
